One way to do that (if you really want to re-install instead of running 
cygcheck and just re-install those packages listed as incomplete) is to 
edit /etc/setup/installed.db so that each package version listed there 
is "outdated".  The next time you run setup it will upgrade everything, 
which is thre re-install you want.

sed -re 's/( [a-zA-Z].*-.*-)[0-9]+\./\10./' \
  -i.bak /etc/setup/installed.db
